In the main SpamBayes configuration page (where you entered your mail server
details) you need to make sure that you have ticked the "unsure" and "spam"
boxes in the "Add classification to subject header" option.  (This is
because Outlook Express can only filter on a very limited part of messages).

Once you've done that, mail that SpamBayes thinks is unsure or spam will
have "unsure," or "spam," added to the subject when it arrives in Outlook
Express.  You can then use Outlook Express's built in rule system to move
the messages.

This is 'Tools->Message Rules->Mail...' in the version of Outlook Express I
have.  Create a rule to move messages with "spam," (including the comma, so
that you don't match messages like this one) to a "Spam" folder that you've
created, and another to move "unsure," messages.

(We are working on a tool to automate all of this, but it's not quite ready
yet).
